Photo Essay

 Have you ever heard about the 'one second a day' project? It's about a project in which a person records one second of his life everyday. However, I am going to change change this project into a 'one picture a day' project. I will show you what pictures I took.


 I took pictures of the camp I am in right now. The camp name is GLPS (Global Leadership Positioning for Students). It is in KMLA (Korean Minjok Leadership Academy) which is a high school in Korea. I specifically took pictures of the buildings in KMLA. The buildings are Dasan, Chungmu, Minjok, gym, futsal field, football field, basketball court, the golf range, and the dormitory.


 The Dasan building
The Dasan building
The Dasan building
 This picture is about the Dasdan building in KMLA. The Dasan building is a three story building (including the attic) and the walls are whitewashed. The Dasan building looks like  an upside down 'L' from the sky.It also has a Korean Traditional roof, a pointed roof covered with ceramic tiles.
 In this building our class (18) learn Math and sometimes go to the computer lab to post blogs during Writing. The Dasan building has almost the exact  same in appearance as the Chungmu building instead of the Dasan building.
 Fun fact: The Dasan building is named after Jung Yak Yong, the Korean scientist.


 The Chungmu building

The Chungmu building

 The Chungmu building looks almost exactly the same as the Dasan building. The Chungmu building is located right next to the Dasan building. Which makes it even harder to differentiate between them.
 Our class learn History at the second floor of the Chungmu building. The library is located in there too so it is easy to research historical facts. The library is a counter, four computers, and four printers next to the entrance. If you go farther in the library there  are rows and rows of bookshelves.
 Fun fact: The Chungmu building is named after Lee Sun Shin , the Korean general during the war with the Japanese.


 The English building
The English building
 The English building is a square building with whitewashed walls and a Korean traditional roof that I had explained to you earlier.
 The English building is located next to the Minjok building. Our class go there to learn debate, or mock trial there. There is a computer room at the end where we sometimes go to research or post blogs. Our adviser teacher also teaches there.


 The Minjok building
The Minjok building

 The Minjok building is just like a Korean traditional house. It is located next to the English building. We learn writing with Miss Angela there.


 The Gym/ Futsal field/ Football field/ Basketball court
The football field
The gym

 During dinnertime, we have about two hours of free time. What do we do in that time? We exercise. We go to the gym to play basketball and/or badminton, the futsal and football field to play soccer, and the basketball court to play basketball.
 The gym is a huge building with basketball hoops inside and there is also some lines o the ground. We use the basketball hoops to play basketball and we use the lines on the ground to play badminton.
 The futsal field is small and is made out of fake grass. The football field is approximately the same size as a real football field and is made out of fake grass.
 The basketball court is just two hoops standing side by side.


 The golf range

The golf building
 The golf range has a six story building to hit the balls, and a huge netted area in front of it in order to not let the balls out. The golf building is simply just too far away. It takes 15 minutes just to get there.


 The dormitory

The dormitory I am living in
 The dormitory is a 12 story building with whitewashed walls and a Korean traditional roof. It also has the school name on the side. The basement is used for the boy's laundry. The first floor is used as the lobby, with the principal's office. The 9th floor is used for the girl's laundry. The 11th floor is the study room, and the 12th floor is the cafeteria. The 2-9th floors are all dormitories.


 So that were my pictures that I took every day for a week. The project was fun and I strongly recommend it to you.

  1. Including pictures of the inside of the buildings would have also been nice. Please post your work on time from now on.
